Sorta cute sad looking Philco in Chicago

[PaulOF]

On the Bay -
Looks kind of lonely and in need of love.

No affiliation. I'd consider it myself if I were close enough, but Chicago is a bit too far from Philly.

Thanks for the link. If the seller is open to local pickup, I might go for it.

My grandparents had one of these, here seen as a new set back around Xmas 1951.

It looks like it has some cracks around the screw holes in the CRT bezel... these are often seen on this model, anybody figured out a good repair?

That is pretty cool. I love these old family pictures. I agree it's a cut little set. What CRT does this TV use?

12LP4. You can download the Sams for it here.

Thanks.

I didn't realize how common these 12LP4 sets were until just recently. Must be a close second runner up to the 10BP4.

The sets are common, but I rarely see a spare 12LP4 for sale. So it's a good idea to test it before buying a set.
